Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. Combine it with the water and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the quinoa rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly. Meanwhile, dice the cucumber and chop the parsley.
To the bowl with the quinoa, add the cooked shrimp, diced cucumber, chopped parsley, olive-oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine and serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.
